Unlocking Musical Skills Through Creative Teaching
What does success look like for our students? Whether they aspire to perform professionally or simply enjoy music throughout their lives, teachers play a vital role in developing the skills that help learners thrive.
Whether you're a long-time ABRSM teacher or completely new to our community, this is a valuable opportunity to get involved in an interactive workshop which explores how formative teaching strategies and summative assessment can work together to support musical growth. Through practical activities, discussion and real repertoire examples, participants will discover ways to nurture creativity, develop a wide range of musical skills, and help students become confident, independent musicians.
The session also introduces ABRSM resources and assessment pathways that can support teaching, learning and progression at every stage. We'll also take a look into our new qualifications such as Creative Musicianship and the new 2027/28 Piano Syllabus, with a Q&A opportunity at the end.
This workshop is free to attend, please book ahead to secure your spot.

He performs a wide-ranging repertoire and is particularly committed to championing underrepresented and contemporary works, as well as engaging in interdisciplinary collaborations, a dedication that led him to the founding of his ensemble, Resonance Frontier, in 2026.
